Today wasn't very eventful. I got up and fed the horses, as I do every morning, then cleaned out the barn. We were out of hay, so that meant it was time to clean the barn spotlessly.  Get every little thing off the floor and make room for the load of 50 plus bales of hay.

My brother and dad go to pick up the hay while I clean the barn. Then they come back (it usually takes 2 loads) and it's time to unload. We have this system going. My brother throws the hay out of the trailer and my dad throws it to me (and at this point I might have to jump and dodge the 60+ lb' bales of hay, ) Then I pick them up (no easy task mind you) and throw them into neat, stacked piles.

We organize them by type. 1'st cut in one pile, 2'nd cut in another.
Once the piles start to get high, I have to make a step-like pile of hay so I can reach the top easier.

By the time we are finished, my lungs are full of hay and I can hardly breath. But seeing the horses run around excitedly as they watch us unload their food, makes it all worth while

Then my dad toss's (yes, toss's) the 50 lb bags of feed to me. I catch them, and put them in the barn. The horses really go wild when they see their grain being unloaded!

So by the time all that was finished, it was only lunch time. Talk about a long morning!

Then the rest of the usual event happened. My mom did school with my sisters while I flipped through the local phone book.  I had to change the last names of the characters in my book. And what better way to give them new names, then by spending hours flipping through the phone book?

After that, I tidied the kitchen, did a bit of this and a bit of that and voila. Here I am. Working frantically to get this posted and get as much of chapter 3 done as I can before my brother kicks me off of here.


Once I get online, it's basically the same routine each day. Google "Book Publishers" and log into facebook to chat with my friend. Work on book 2 while also writing in here, AND trying to go through the dozens of emails in my inbox  I really need to stop multitasking!

Good news: I have now contacted about a dozen publishers. I have already heard back from 4. All of whom have requested to view my manuscript!

And after this, I shall go feed 5 hungry horses their new feed and hay. Then go to bed and fall asleep half way through a movie.
